Great teacher. Makes sure the whole class understands a part before continuing. Always willing to help inside or outside of class. Highly recomended!
Excellent professor. Cares a lot about the students and is very passionate about Calculus. If you are good at math you shouldn't have much trouble with the exams. Will do anything he can to help you out with calculus, or even with your grade.
He is a very good professor. He's very clear and is even willing to help his students at anytime...even if it's out of class. I'd recommend Mr. Flores to anyone out there. Great Professor!
OH MY GOD!!!! I have NEVER seen a math professor so passinate about math. He is truely a great professor, and I would recommend any course he teaches, even if it was English. He is one great guy and will help when ever needed. Gives great explanations
This is one of the greatest math professors I've ever had. He explains every single item and you are able to understand everything he teaches. You would be lucky to get in any of his classes.
Your are definitely not skating by in this class. It's a difficult course, but if you do the homework you shouldn't have to many probs on exams. Tests are 20 questions, rarely lets out early. Very approachable & loves his job. You must pull your weight if you expect to do well in this class! AA++++
this guy loves math and loves to teach it. he is very helpful and doesnt collect homework. but i still recommend doing the homework because the problems mirror the test. he made my look on math turn positive again. take this doctor of math and education he is great.
Although i already knew all this material it was easy for me but judging if i didnt, hes a very good teacher. doesnt want to leave anyone behind. it is very true that he is passionate about his job. 8:30 at night and he was still excited to be there.
Never took up Homework. Always skipped steps when solving an equation. I suggest you not take him if you dont like doing homework...you'll fail if you dont do it. You'll just get lost and never be able to get caught up with what hes teaching.
Dr. Flores is a very good teacher. He explains the subject with detail that leaves the student with no questions. He is always willing to help and sets the class up so that he can teach each person individually. He is by far one of the best math teachers I have ever had.
Wow!! He was the best math teacher ever....and really fine to! Tests were hard, but he really cares alot!
great teacher.explaines everything so well. took his time to make sure you understood everything. really good at explainning everything. doesn't give homework, but the test comes from the homework, test are only 20 questions
Great Teacher, just go to class, it's math so you do have to practice. He is pretty flexible, dosent check HW, and is very helpful. He wants you to learn not fail.
AWESOME teacher! Will be taking again next semester for a different math course. Can't ask for better than this.
What a guy. easiest exam and course ever. got out of class early every day.
Terrible, somebody needs to tell him that we're attending Valencia, not Harvard. His tests questions go well beyond the homework and in-class discussions. Very unfair and inconsistant with grading; ten questions worth ten points each, you miss one, you drop a letter grade. Otherwise he's a nice guy.
DR. FLORES SHOWS YOU STEP BY STEP HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, AND TESTS COME DIRECTLY FROM WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN CLASS. HE IS VERY, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT MATH, AND IS WELL VERSED IN THE SUBJECT MATERIAL. TAKE HIM, AND IF YOU TAKE NOTES, DO YOUR HOMEWORK, THEN YOU SHOULD GET NO LOWER THAN A B.
Best math teacher ever!!!
I have to say, Dr. Flores is an excellent math teacher, contrary to what I said in my previous posting about him being unfair and difficult. He really does care about his students, and it shows. I would definately recommend him: passionate, caring, and very professional.
Best math teacher I have ever had, and I suck at it, got a B
awesome teacher, really cares about his students. A true assest to his profession. he is what every teacher should strive to be someone who truly cares about reaching his students.
took dr flores this spr. Teaches in a very clear matter, makes sure you understand before he moves on.His test are very straightforward and if you take notes and pay a little attention,you should get an a. no excuse.He does show that he cares that u learn notjust throws the material like others do.
The term consisted of 4 test (incl. Final) I bombed the first test(53%), but I studied well & asked questions during class time. I got A's on all my other tests. He mentions what he expect u to know on the tests. Ask questions in class if u don't understand he's very helpful and patient.
Very good professor. He is willing to explain to you if you dont understand. I recomend every body to take him
An awesome caring teacher...highly recommend!
I was dreading trigonometry. Dr. Flores made the class enjoyable and interesting. He is one of those teachers that you will remember due to their passion and interest in teaching. It was the highlight class of my stay at VCC.
DR. Flores is the best. He is the type of teacher that would u with anything. If u are having trouble with the class he will help u out. Very easy and undarstandable.
Best teacher I think I've ever had! And I hate math! I missed a ton of classes and I was still able to catch up. We only covered a few chapters, but I really feel I learned them fully.
I would highly recommend taking this professor. He is very helpful, nice, funny, laidback & cute. Easy A if you put for effort and come to class. :0) marcy
THE BEST TEACHER!!!seriously, take him unexplainably the best teacher...i really suck at math, but I got an a not because he gave it to me but because he is such a good teacher that i actually understood the stuff. he doesnt count homework but he assigns it so that students can practice but he doesnt grade it
He rocks! He slows way down until the entire class understands the concept.He explains why and how you answer questions.If you need a patient math teacher he is your man. If you have to advance in high level maths probably not your man. We are way behind. BUT we know what we are doing!! One of my top ten teachers at VCC! This was my 2nd try @ alg
excellent teacher!
One of the BEST teachers ever. This was my second time taking College Algebra, because my first professor was clear as mud. Prof Flores on the other hand was VERY patient, and took the time to make sure that everyone LEARNED the material, not just memorized it for a test. If only more professors were as good as he is.
Professor Flores is a class act. Personable, good hearted, humorous, patient, and laid back. In this class he made sure all students understood the material presented. Tests were always on material covered, and make up tests were given on all tests. No homework turned in. Mr. Flores is also a wiz with math. I will look to take him again.
awesome! awesome!awesome! teacher he makes sure everyone understands before he moves on. he is very fair and wants his students to pass. if you have problems with math he will be the best teacher for you he goes step by step and if you need him to stop and go over it again he will with no problem highly recommend him
Such a nice guy. Really cares about his students and wants to see them pass. Teaches at everyones pace to make sure you everyone understands. Gives no homework and he's just so nice!
HE IS A VERY NICE GUY! HE HELPED A LOT, BUT HE CAN GET A LITTLE DISTRACTED. I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE TO TAKE HIM.
Great professor! Does not go on to new material until everyone understands the lesson he's teaching. He's very patient and very helpful. If you have to take this class, I recommend you choose this professor.
....IF YOU STUDY YOU"LL PASS....with an A.
WOW i love this teacher i was soo dumb when it came to this class i had taken this stupid math class twice b4 i got to him i wish i had taken him earlier. He is so clear, and he will go over it and over it until everyone gets it. If you dont get it then he wont move on. He's a great teacher i thought he was kinda cute too. The first test we took he
GREAT GREAT GREAT teacher!! participate he loves to see people trying. If you try, he will do anything possible to help you. Just take notes and study a little and you should pass with an A or B!!
Great Teacer, what more can i say
He has been the best math teacher to date that I have had. I passed the class and the state final with no problems he does everything to help you and if you go to class and work at it you will understand and pass.
The most helpfule math teacher ever. He really helped me catch up on everything in math i missed since like the first grade. Works with the pace of the class. Loves to help individuals also.
This is one of the greatest Professors at Valencia. He makes everything so simple for you to understand. He doesn't make you feel dumb or stupid. You would definantly like His way and style. He has a GREAT student skills. GREAT CLASS!!
Dr. Flores is an amazing teacher. He is absolutely brilliant in mathmatics; he has a doctorate and multiple master's degrees in math. He is a very understanding teacher and will not move on until everyone understands the lesson. He is an all around good person and great teacher. As long as you try in his class you will definitely get a good grade!
Mr. Flores is an awesome teacher! He is so helpful & makes you understand. He does not go on untill everyone comprehends the material. He is greatly recommended! =]
he is the best. all he cares about is getting you prepared for the state assessment. He covers the materials thoroughly and is a nice guy. He doesn't care much for attendence, but he makes sure you're all caught up. He doesn't grade or check homework because he uses them as practices. Mr. Flores ROCKS!!!!!
I've always been math challenged, couldn't even do long division before this class. Professor Flores explains things VERY clearly, explains the 'how' it works (not just memorization of rules) and is very patient. He's obviously a math genius, but with the ability to explain to math dummies. Thanks to him I passed with an A first time out
Amazing teacher, i honestly cannot beleive there are teachers is good, probably the best in VCC
Generally a nice guy, but I noticed he doesn't necessarily listen to your specific question and will go off and give you a general answer to the "type" of problem you asked about. If math is easy for you, take him. If not, look elsewhere or get a tutor.
Mr Flores is extremely intellegent, so if you are taking a high level math class, expect to be treated like a math expert. Other than that Mr. Flores is SUCH a good guy, he seems to really care about his students passing his course.
Dr. Flores is one of the BEST math professors to ever teach at Valencia!! Doesn't give a lot of homework! It also isn't mandatory. 10 question quizzes and a 10 question final! Math couldn't be any easier than that :) :)
Dr. Flores is an excellent teacher! I am not too good at math, but I still received an A in the class. If you attend class, pay attention, and study for the tests then you will get an A. His tests are problems that he's given you in advance and he doesn't check the homework. He is the MOST FAIR math professor that I've ever had. Take him!
Professor is great and very enthusiastic, but a bit too cocky and says difficult problems are easy when you ask for help. This made me not want to ask questions sometimes. Kind grader. Cares if you understand. Book+solutions book were terrible. Homework optional, you'll have a very hard time if you don't do it. Grades based on tests with few ?'s.
I received an A becuase the tests were very general and were all take homes and if they werent, he let us know which questions were on it. Did I learn anything? I dont know, I guess so. I never had a math class so easy in my life, so I gotta say I was a little flabbergasted! He IS crystal clear in lecture tho, so I would take him again.
Completely useless professor. Only earns high ratings because he's so easy. I regret taking him because I feel totally unprepared for future math courses.
Mr. Flores is the BEST!! By far one of the best teachers I've ever taken! He actually cares about his students and is extremely knowledgable. He explains why things are the way they are in math and not just how to solve any given problem.
Having had him as an instructor, I must say that I highly suspect that he is posting most of the positive comments found on here. My reason for saying that is he is not "all that" and no one in my class really cared one way or the other about him to write such great comments. If anything, he's simply arrogant.
I always had such a hard time with math that is until I took PreAlgebra with Mr. Flores. He definetly opened my eyes to a whole new sense of understanding...not only solving problems but he helps you define them and whatever you don't understand he makes sure you do before you leave his class I HIGLY SUGGEST IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE IN MATH TAKE HIM!!!!
very easy going excellent teaching skills best prof ive had yet
teaches really well, he dosent check your homework because he expects you to be mature enough to do. Every thing he says is clear and easy to understand which is everything i was hoping for when i started college math. Math being the only subject that i could never pass.
Mr. Flores is such an awesome teacher I did not understand math at all until I took his pre-algebra class. Now I so like math and understand it. I would recommend everyone to take his class. He takes his time to make sure everyone understands and goes over any questions at the beginning of class. HE IS THE BEST TEACHER!!!! TAKE HIS CLASS
GREAT teacher! Explains everything very clear. Sometimes he spends one class our going over homework questions or any other questions that anyone may have. The tests have like 10 questions and they are really easy. He assigns homeworks but never collects it. I recommend him greatly. He is definitely a good math teacher.
Great teacher, explains things very well. Actually cares if you understand the material. Lets you correct your tests for a higher score. Highly recommended :)
he is the best teacher ever....this class is super duper easy for anyone....
Excellent teacher...Very helpful.. Only a fool can fail his class. He will go out of his way to make sure you understand what he is teaching.
Long Story Short, Excellent !!! You can't fail his class unless you don't try. He cares and makes every effort to make sure you unbderstand what he is teaching. As a family man, I thought it would be too difficult to learn at my age;) Best teacher ever! You can't go wrong. You will learn!!
Mr.Flores was by far the best math teacher I ever had! He let us make corrections on every test in order for us to understand what we did wrong and to get a better grade. Not only that, but he also never went on with teaching unless he was positive that everyone understood the material. If you are looking for the best math teacher than choose him!
He is the best math teacher i ever had. He makes you feel like your the smartest person in the world. He is always willing to help and hes not that bad on the eye for and older guy too.
This professor is great he is very helpful always available and never has a problem with answering questions again and again. I had no clue before I took his class and now I know the material math has always been my worst subject but amazingly I passed the state assesment with no problem thanks to the professor. I will recommend this professor to e
Loved his class. He is a great teacher. He breaks down concepts in a way that everyone will understand. Very flexible and truly dedicated to all his students. I am not a math major but I actually enjoyed his class very much.
Nice guy and great teacher. If you pay attention in class and make sure you understand the concepts by doing HW, your set. Best math teacher I have had in college
Professor Flores is very clear, helpful and explains math very well. I never understood math at all until I took his class. He never checks the homework but do them cause he takes the questions for his test out of the homework. Professor Flores is the best
I absolutely loved Mr. Flores. He was deff the best math teacher I've ever had.. very clear and understandable.. also very funny.. I'm really upset that he's not teacher math 0024 this semester..very recommended!
The best professor at math. Thanks to him I now love math. If your not go at math, he is you man. He will take his time and walk every step with you until you get it
by far the best teacher i highly recommend him
Professor Flores was a very helpful teacher. he takes ample time to make sure EVERYONE understands the content.. even if it takes extra time. The test come right from the book and he gives great review guides. Highly recomended for anyone that likes, or dislikes math. I'm waiting a semester just so i can take him for college algebra.
He was a GREAT teacher for math, he knows the easy ways to do things, and he's funny, an overall good teacher.
Very helpful, speaks very clearly, and cares about his students,Great teacher, If you try hard enough, show up everyclass, ask questions I promise you will pass. I did and I did awfull in class but put forth effort and passed . Take him!
Totally overrated. I got an A and had to withdraw from beg. algebra because I didn't learn enough in his prealgebra class.
By far one of the best instructors I have ever had. He is teaches extremely well and makes sure YOU understand the material no matter what your learning style is. Very easy and crystal clear when it comes to explaining math concepts. One of the greatest at giving explanations for problems and their solutions. I highly recommend him!!

Flores is the best math teacher i have ever had. i used to hate math because i was so bad at it, but hes so awesome that i love math now! he doesnt just teach you his material, he prepairs you for the future. I highly suggest taking his class, if you can even get into it!!! lol
I have taken Dr. Flores for 3 different math courses. He is by far the best teacher i have ever had! He will go over any problems your having and make sure you understand before moving on. Very thorough. It was actually fun going to class!
Professor flores by far is the best professor at teaching anyone having trouble with math. when you leave his class you will fully have a better understanding. He really cares about his students. he gives homework but doesn't collect it. He likes you to practice the problems because it helps you to understand. I RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY!!
He is a great professor. He teaches with a passion. I hate math but with his help i passed. Take him, go to class everyday, do homework, and you will do fine.
OVER RATED. This is an easy class because he just goes over what you learned in beginning algebra. If you plan to go on to college algebra don't take him because when you get into college algebra you will be surprised with all the material he was supposed to teach but didn't. If you don't need college algebra this class is for you, you can skip ha
This dude is the man i have taken him for 3 semesters straight he can teach you the same problem 6 diff way untill you find away you understand he dosent take up homework but he will help you if you need it
Great teacher! Makes learning math easy and the class with him is fun. Great combination of brains, great teaching skills, friendly personality and looks - it helps!
Take this teacher!!! He rocks!!!
The best teacher in VCC !
Best math teacher I've had in my life. He makes it easy to wrap your mind around the core concept of the topics he talks about. He is extremely helpful, he will go over any problem until he feels that you understand the material. I will be taking him for Intermediate Algebra next semester. I recommend everyone to take him.
He is one of the BEST teachers Iver had in such a long time!
Super easy but does not prepare you for the next math class at all. I got an A in his pre alg but had to withdrawal from begining alg cuz I was failing and that sucks. So all I can say is yeah get him if you don't need more math later.
Incredibly easy class. I think I got lucky that my beginning algebra teacher was really difficult because I didn't learn anything new in intermediate algebra. The tests are actually hard compared to the rest of the class but he gives you a study guide with the questions on it already. He's nice, helpful and funny. Take this teacher!
DR.Flores is a very helpful prof. his is always willing to help you with any math problems that you have.H is very knowledgeable and makes make very fun he is definitely the BEST math teacher the i have ever had.
Dr. Flores is a great teacher!!!I just took him for summer term B he teaches math in a way that anyone can understand it.He shows you diffrent ways to solve one problem.He gave H.W every night but never collected it however the H.W is the way he practices for test.Very laid back guy and he really prepared our class for the state exam.
GREAT teacher. He doesn't grade HW but gives it to you to study, has the best methods to learning and is a funny guy. I'm not that great in math but he was the reason I almost got a perfect score on state exam. Take him if you need help with learning Math.
He is awesome
Fantastic professor! He is able to break the material down in such a way that I felt I had a pretty good understanding of it after class (which is very rare for me in an algebra class). He is definitely the best algebra professor at Valencia!
Challenging subject, but DO your homework and you'll be fine. Great guy, thanks Prof Flores!
Awesome teacher. I took algebra back in high school and failed it twice. I have always been horrible at math. I took Flores class for intermediate algebra and he is the BEST math teacher at valencia. Color coats everything and shows multiple ways of solving. Gives practice tests & study guides which is the same questions on the test. MUST TAKE HIM!
Semester just started but what an awesome teacher! he's precise, clear and shows a few techniques to learn so you can use a method that works best for you. If i can take him to College Alge, i will. FANTASTIC!
He is a really great professor. He shows his own techniques which is usually more helpful then doing it the way the book does it. he color codes everything and is very clear ! I really liked him i took him for beggining algebra and intermediate algebra and got an A in both classes. His final exams are easy if You memorize the review for it
this professor gives the weirdest test no multiple choice no reviews. i wish he would lighten up he is always serious
He is very nice guy just too slow for my tastes and I suck at math! wants you to relearn it his way and is quite rude sometimes with his abrubt manners. DONT ask q's unless you want a 30min answer. Skips sections because he takes so long explaining one question! Frustrating!! If you need babysitting take him
I just wish that he would give more multiple choice questions, and allow students to review so that if there is any clarification needed or any concerns or questions then they can be resolved before taking the test. I feel that his tests are "set up to fail you type tests".
He is nice when he wants to be. Over teaches to the point you get frustrated and want to tune out because its over detailed. Will make you re-learn it his way in order to pass his stupid exams which he does not properly review or go over. Most people fail them but he allows you to re-take. Which you wouldnt have to do if he reviewed!
good prof just very into his math n teaching method. some of the material is hard but he'll try to teach it the easiest way he knows how to. if you need more help its best just to go to the tutoring. but for the most part hes a pretty ez teacher n i dont even like math
Dr. Flores is the best Math Prof that I've every had, he puts in the time to teach the material so that you can truly understand it. Flores is the best at hi craft, if he can teach me math he can teach anyone math.
This is an awsum professor. Whoever talks crap about him is stupid and lazy.They should find better things to do with their lives rather than bs the professor.Flores is very dedicated and smart.I love his class.
The best instructor I have ever had. I learned so much. I was able to pass the state exam without studying. His tests are a little tricky but if you take notes you will ace his class. I am taking him for intermediate algebra in the fall.
He is what I call a teacher. Math is not my piece of pie but with him I found math more clear and easy to understand than with any other teacher. I would recommend him as he is very helpful and explains everything. He takes his job seriously. Very good overall!!! I'm taking his class this summer ;)
I can honestly say he is the best math teacher I've ever had. If it wasn'tfor him an the way he taught me, I probably would have failed but he helped me understand math better than anyone else. I recommend him. he's cool an he isnt a meanie =]]
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. I failed this class twice with two other professors, within 2 weeks of coming to this class I knew I'd pass. His teaching style is amazing. He applies the material to real life situations and answers any questions you have clearly. As I said I failed it twice before and passed with an A. Take his class you won't regret it.
The best math teacher, I haven't been to school in 25 years, but Dr Flores explains things his own way which makes them so easy to understand. He may take his time, but you will know the material when he moves on. Take him you will not be sorry
I got an A in this class just be prepared to do WORK.
Dr. Flores is amazing. I am literally retarded when it comes to mathematics and he made it so easy! I am already signed up for his next class next semester. He won't move on until everyone is ready. The only grades he counts are the tests so STUDY! He is deff THE best math teacher I have ever had in my entire educational career.
THE GREATEST!!!
Yes his tests are hard, but study and you should be fine. Probably the best math teacher at valencia. Got a B.
Dr. Flores was the best math teacher ever. He was so helpful and he really understands what he is doing. He helps all of his students understand and doesnt make you feel stupid for asking questions. If you can, I would take his classes!
wow flores is getting tough we have endless homework that he did not teach i don't know if its self thought now.everyone is worried about him lately his teaching skills are dropping too much home work and less teaching wazz up with that?
Mr Flores is an ok professor. He is helpful when you ask questions but he takes a lonf time to answer. Also he assigns homework,alot may I add,without going over the material. Unless you like to teach yourself the material DO NOT take him.
He is an ok teacher. He dosent go over the material unless after you have done the homework and have questions. You would learn more taking this class online than you would from him.
He is very helpful, if you have any questions he will answer them until you understand what you are doing. He does assign a lot of homework but it helps you learn the material. I would reccomend him as a professor!
BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You must take him, the best teacher in Valencia.
Such a wonderful teacher. Takes his time to explain everything and makes sure everyone understands. Taken this class before, failed and now i can finally understand thanks to him! 4 tests and homework does not have to be turned in.
VERY GOOD PROF..I WISH I CAN TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR SPRING 2011 BUT I DONT SEE HIS NAME ON HERE NO MORE..
BEST COLLEGE ALGEBRA PROF EVER!! Explains things perfectly, hw isnt mandatory, practice exams similar to the real exam (4 exams, no quizzes), wants all his students to pass. this guy cares and he'awesome at what he does. I'm gonna take him for trig! Do the work, study a bit, and you be fine. I got an A in this class hardly tryin :D
THE BEST TEACHER AT VALENCIA LOVE HIM SO MUCH! HE DOESN'T MOVE ON UNTIL EVERY SINGLE STUDENT IN THE CLASS UNDERSTANDS. HANDS DOWN THE BEST MATH TEACHER IVE EVER TOOK. IM HORRIBLE IN MATH AND HE REALLY HELPED ME AND MADE ME HAVE VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MATH NOW.
By far the best professor. I started off at Pre-Algebra and took him for my College Algebra, and I am horrible at math, I got an "A". Prof. Flores makes it so you understand it and will not move on until you all do. His reviews ARE his tests. If you study an understand the review you will ACE the test. The final review is also the final.
TAKE HIM ! HES THE BEST TEACHER EVER. HE MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND MATH EVEN IF YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE. HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND OVERALL A GREAT TEACHER!
You will work for your "A" But, it's not a hard course,do homework,he wants you/ask Q's about ones you don't get!Use M-Lab,he gives mock exam Q's.Gives strong T-reviews,works-em in class so pepare to answer! He will move Test if class is not up to speed! Very helpful, open door after class.Volunter/ask Q's/HW/problems on/board,& Know Calc/Rules! A+
Great teacher, take him and do your work and you will get an A
Dr. Flores is a fantastic teacher! He is always willing to assist you if you need help. His in class lectures are outstanding! If you do all the homework and study for the test, you should do well. Most importantly, he prepares you for the next level math!
he was a great teacher! when I first entered his class my math skills were totally gone but he helped me get it back. he makes sense when he's speaking and helps you by giving you several tips on how to figure out the problem. super easy class he's laid back. gives hw but doesn't check it until final exams. I recommend him 100%.
AMAZING TEACHER!!! he is so helpful and so good at explaining things. my class got to retake 2 out of the 5 exams. he doesnt rush through the material he makes sure everyone gets it. if you have the chance TAKE THIS CLASS! 5 exams one is take home and no other grades, hw is optional.
Professor Flores is great. He tries to keep the class all at the same level which really helps. Grade based solely on exams, there are four (plus the final). Offers make-up exams when the class doesn't do well. Provides homework, but it's not mandatory. I would definitely recommend him!
I DON'T SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT=^(
Professor Flores or Paul as he like to be called is a great teachers. The comments about him being a horrible teacher are all wrong. I failed at math all through school but when I took Intermediate Algebra with him I got an A. He walked you through each step, and explained it in every way possible for you to understand. I actually enjoy math now. :
Great teacher for those who are not the greatest in math. Will go over any problem when asked, and drops lowest test grade. You do a review before each test, and the review is pretty much the test but with slight differences in numbers. Study each review, ask questions and do some homework and the class is a breeze.
I must say, this is the best most effective math experience I have ever had. I've been getting a C or borderline B in math since high school, and finally a math teacher who actually knows how to teach & wants to make it easy! His tests are really the only thing he bases his grades on, which he makes it almost identical to the study guide. TAKE HIM!
3rd time taking this professor. Pre-Calc is a pain, but he makes it bearable. He has a passion for teaching that I haven't found with other math professors which keeps the class motivated even when it's a complex subject. 4 tests and the final. His tests can be tricky but stick with it and show that you are trying and you'll do OK!
LOVE HIM !!!! The best ever!!!
What all instructors should be like.
Hw is optional but its there to help you. Practice test and real test are similar but be aware, the final would be based on all the hw and he wouldn't help you from A to Z of the final practice. After all, it's an easy A class if u pay some effort in it. He's nice and helpful.Yet the class is boring when someone asks how to solve a problem 3 times
Great professor, wish there was more like him. Really helps u learn the material, hw not mandatory but can help for test. I recommand him.
this guy is a genius. study the practice exam and you'll pass the exam. got an A in the class without the book.
LOVED LOVED DR. FLORES! He Brokeeverything down. study his practice test he will definatley gives you the help you need
Honestly, in the beginning professor Flores was awesome I am not very good at math and he kept us with a positive mindset I made all A's on my exam but then he screws us over with the take home exam which was difficult my classmates studied for it but when we get our final exam our final was nothing like we learned in our study guide enough said
By far the best math professor I've ever had. I would recommend him over and over again.
Prof. Flores is Dee Best Math professor. He explains any problems you have. Go to class everyday, take notes, do your homework. I guarantee you will get an A in his class. I enjoyed going to his class. He is also a very nice guy also. So TAKE HIM. I WOULD TAKE HIM FOR ALL MY MATH CLASSES IF I CAN.
I took Dr. Flores for college algebra and pre-calc and loved him. He is not easy but extremely worth it. He teaches more than you need to know which makes your next required math class a breeze. The practice test he gives you before the test are basically the test but he changes the numbers around. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL PASS!
this is the MATH JESUS. if u suck at math, trust me you are not worst than me, and i had fun in this class. study guide IS THE TEST just different numbers. very friendly and lenient. theres really nothing bad to say that's why to register for his classes its so difficult.
By far the best math teacher I've had, in my ENTIRE LIFE. Flores knows what he is doing when it comes to teaching math. He will help you every step of the way.
Exactly what everyone else before me has said. Awesome teacher, explains everything clearly, basically gives you the test to complete it and study it before you take it, and he's really nice. If you can get in his class, do it. I wish all teachers were like Dr. Flores.
MATH GOD! He is incredible! Don't think twice! Best teacher I have ever had in my life! He makes it so simple even when its a difficult subject. No other teacher will everrrrrr compare to him! He knows his stuff! Study guides= exact layout of test! I hated math.. He made me love it!!!!! No homework.. Just tests. Lowest grade is dropped! A+++++++++
Great Teacher, great person. There's a reason why Prof. Flores has a doctorate degree in Mathematics, he's THAT GOOD. Breaks things down in simple terms and shows you the easiet way of solving problems. Highly recommended. It's a no pressure class, TAKE IT!
Great teacher!!! He clearly explains any questions in detail that anyone in class may have so that everyone understands the material. Very helpful! TAKE HIM!!
Answers all questions, grades are based only on tests. Good professor, but hard class, passed with a B.
Calc 2 is probably one of the hardest math classes and he makes it amazing. TAKE HIM! He is great at explaining and willing to help those who need it. Gives you second chances because he knows how important this class is to pass.
There's something really special about Dr.Flories, when he does math with you, time flies by real quickly. It's as easy as 2+2. The homework is optional but it helps you in the long run. The class is based off of tests so make sure to do well. 60 percent of your grade is tests and the final is 40 percent. Study the practice tests and you will pass.
Pretty easy class and teacher. I liked the class and did well, but I feel that if I take any more upper level math courses this will not have prepared me for it. I felt like I didn't learn anything new or substantial. If you want an easy a go for it. If you really want to learn and master the material I suggest you don't take the "easy professor."
I can say that this man changed my entire view on math. I HATED math before I took Calculus I with Professor Flores. Once I started taking it this semester I actually love calculus! I started considering engineering majors! This is my last math class for my major but I think I'm going to continue taking math classes as long as he's my professor.
Great teacher. Knows how to teach well. Explains everything into detail and gives out test study guides which were a massive help. ALEKS homework however was completely ridiculous.
awesome teacher. prof flores knows his stuff and will help you understand anything that you dont understand. be interactive with the class bc he does not like a quiet classroom! great class
AMAZING!!!! I had to drop trig once before and passed it because he was so easy!!! His pretests ARE his finals so study those!!
Prof. Flores is for sure the best math instructor/teacher I've ever had! He's a math God and a super nice guy. This man absolutely knows what he's talking about when it comes to anything mathematical. I took him for Pre-Calc, and I'll be sure to take him again for Calc 1!
I loved Flores until I had to take Calc 2. He did not prepare us at all. I got an A in the class but obviously learned nothing. No other instructor will let you redo tests!
Expects you to know certain concepts that the previous math courses at Valencia do not prepare you for, including how to do proofs. His lectures were uninspiring and ineffective. He only grades tests, 3 of them, nothing else. I do not recommend taking Calc 3 with him.
I do not recommend taking Calc 3 with this professor.
class was way too hard. expects you to be an expert by the end of the semester. practice tests are nothing like real test. lectures very fast and doesnt give you enough time to process before moving on. many didn't finish the final exam. only test grades, nothing else. i dont recommend taking him. studying for any amount of time is not enough.
Best math professor ever. Most of the people complaining about him probably never paid much attention to him in class. He actually teaches and explains to you the concept of the subject he is talking about rather than throwing it at you and telling you to memorize it. That way you understand it rather than just forcing yourself to remember it.
He is awesome. I strongly recommend taking him.
Professor Flores is a very enthusiastic and helpful teacher. Passed his class with an A and I felt like I earned the grade. My only fear after passing his class is that it felt too easy and I plan on continuing in math.
Extremely helpful. Tends to go fast, but always happy to repeat himself or explain in a different way to make you understand. You need to do every hw assignment and show up to every class to get an A. Brilliant teacher, am taking him for the rest of my calculus sequence!
This is the so far the best calc-professor I ever taken do the hw and study for test, need help go to the math center.
Professor Flores is amazing!!! He's extremely helpful & doesn't move on until he feels everyone has truly learned the material. He derives formulas so you really understand them instead of just memorizing. He gave us practice tests so we would know what we were tested on. Super nice & very smart who really knows his stuff. Taking him for calc!
Professor Flores is one of the best professors I have ever had! Even tho I am good in math but never in trig! But he actually made it so easy and clear that I am sure I am passing with an A. I'm still taking his class now and I am in his waiting list for calc1 next semester. I totally recommend him because I'm taking every math class with him now(:
he is mathematician. that been said he knows his subject. Goes too fast, so if you understand good and if not you are on your own. Tests can be difficult even with the practice test he gives. Gets upset when ppl don't show up to class. Looking for a professor that can really help me understand the subject and cares....
Took him for pre-calc, trig, and calc I... I plan on taking him for calc 2 as well! Only 4 tests (sometimes that includes the final). Very easy going, will help you if you ASK; if you don't, he will keep going and going.
Dr. Flores is very passionate about calculus, great guy. Math in general was never my strong suit this course is really tough. However, he makes it a bit easier on his students. 3 tests (one take home) and a final (replaces lowest test). Study guides similar to tests, different quantities. DO THE HOMEWORK; even though it's not graded, it helps.
Best math professor I've ever taken. He goes above and beyond to ensure that the class AND you as an individual understand the material. His lectures really go into depth to teach the real meaning and function behind basic principals. I would definitely recommend for those who have an issue with math. He's a genuine person, too. Loved his class.
I took Dr. Flores for a combined pre calc and trig class, and he was the best math teacher i have had so far. He goes above and beyond for his students. Homework is not graded and gives a review before each test.
Dr. Flores is very smart and definitely knows his subject. I recommend taking his class if you are good in the math dept and definitely know your trig or you'll be left behind. It was very difficult for me as I had not taken a math class in 2+ semester, if that's your case, you might have a hard time keeping up.
This is by far the best professor I have ever had in Valencia College. I enjoyed his class so much that I given my major a second thought. Calc II is notoriously hard, but he doesn't add to that connotation. Instead, he teaches you the beauty of calculus, and leaves you wanting for more. In short, a good teacher explains, a great teacher inspires.
Calculus is not an easy subject, but professor Flores has been the most helpful mathematics professor I've had. He makes everything so clear and easy to understand. He gives practice exams before the exams and are super helpful. grading is composed of only test.
He is an amazing professor! I am terrible at trig, but he was able to make it make sense! He doesn't collect homework, but you learn very quickly that it is very necessary to do! I would definitely recommend him to anyone! I just wish his calc classes were later in the day so I could actually take them!
I took this class in the Spring and he is honestly the best professor ever. He only grades based off of your exams which is not a bad thing. Before every exam he gives you a study guide which is exactly like the exam. I NEVER rate professors but he is so good I did. I would definitely take him again. Best professor ever!!
This professor is amazing!! His teaching skills are the best! He explains everything as simple as possible so everyone understands. I just think he's a genius!! Take him!!
He is an amazing lecturer. I would highly recommend him to another student. (Do not miss his classes.)
I was going through a really hard time and Professor Flores was really understanding and helpful!
Class is not an easy A which was the impression when looking at other reviews. 4 exams and a final that replaces lowest test. Tests are 10 question, hard, not much partial credit awarded. He gives study guides, but he asks questions that are much more difficult than they need to be. He is very nice and intelligent but I would not take him again.
I took the Six week course and expected it to be very difficult, but he told us at the beginning of class that if you show up, follow along with the tons of practice problems he does and study the practice tests you will pass. I am horrible in math and was getting 99's on exam after exam. He is a great Professor and would recommend him to anyone.
I took a summer B class. So there were 10 classes&7 tests, but Flores did his best to lay it out and explain everything. We went fast but he took his time when he could tell some were confused. I recommend him entirely he explains trig flawlessly. I really enjoyed his class. Hw was not graded and towards the end we had 3 take home tests. due 2time
Just like the person below, I took this class in 6 weeks and from the very beginning he told us it was going to be intense. We put in a lot of work but the way he explains things makes you understand the material. I suggest doing the practice problems he gives you and also don't be afraid to ask questions when needed. Great professor!
absolutely amazing calculus professor, this guy is genius. He really knows how to break things down and teach you what you need to know. i have taken him for Calc1 and calc2.
I was going through a really tough time and professor Flores was incredibly understanding! As long as you show you're interested in putting in work you're set! Homework is given, but it's not taken for a grade. Prof. Flores wants everyone to succeed and you'll only hear him talk about the best in each student! Best professor I've had yet!
Prof. Flores certainly knows this material thoroughly. He is very easy to understand and cares about his students understanding of the material too. THE ONLY BAD PART, you are graded solely on 4 test! There's always homework but it's to help you, not to be collected or graded. If you fail or miss ONE test, passing this class is nearly IMPOSSIBLE!!
I took Professor Flores for my Precalculus, Trigonometry, and now Calculus 1. So far I would say the best professor at Valencia that teaches math no offense to any other professor, but Professor Flores knows exactly how to make you an A student and knows how to let you love math if you're just one of the people who hate Math. I would def. recommend
Good professor who clearly explains the concepts well. Gives practice tests that are nearly similar to the exams. The only downside is that he rarely gives partial credit and you are graded solely on 4 exams (Lowest exam is not dropped nor replaced by the final). If you're looking to get an A don't take him.
The best! Dr. Flores makes calculus easy. Reviews are similar to the test (not exactly the same) but if you understand the review you'll get a good test grade. He completely understands the subject and can answer any question you have. If you are a STEM major I'd recommend taking him. He's also kind on partial credit. TAKE HIM FOR MATH!!!
Although I didn't like his teaching style - he doesn't solve a lot of exercises from each lesson and his solving method is a bit disorganized for me to understand, but if you want to get good grades, just take him. His tests are super easy; he is very caring, and it is his pleasure to help you. He is the best!
Honestly this was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. For our class, he only graded 5 things. 3 CH test, the final exam, and one quiz that was take home. On the final, he gave us the same EXACT questions as the ones on the study guide. (There was 20 on the guide, on the final he made us choose 10 of them). He explains things very well.
This class consisted of 3 tests and the final. He gives a review for each test which are SIMILAR to the test, meaning it's not exactly the same but it's related to the concepts on the review. If you can't pass with him then you aren't putting enough effort into the class. I've never been excited to take math before but I'm excited for calc 2 + 3
Hes very good at what he does and got a phd in mathematics. I believe that anyone who has taken him loves him as a professor. Always comes to class with a smile and teaches you what you need to know. The exams are problems straight from the homework he assigns. Do the homework and guaranteed A.
One of the best Calc 1 prof I've ever had. Goes only a few questions a day at a pace where it is understandable. No homework or quizzes, but is recommended you do them. Gives out study guides similar in question and number to the real rest. Graded on only 4 things. Tests are actually very easy if studied. Wish I could take him again, but bio major.
Dr. Flores is a very special professor. Up until this class, I always struggled to pay attention during lectures. With this professor, all of that went away. I learned a lot in this class and I really feel like I earned my grade. But be forewarned, while you will easily pass, he likes to put trick questions and makes you work for the A.
Thank you god for sending this amazing, caring, wonderful person to this world. This world needs more people like Dr. Flores. If you hate math, he definitely makes you love it. 4 tests, easy questions. Be a respectful, good student, your A is guaranteed. I wish I could take more classes with him :(
This was my second time taking him. He wants all the students to pass. Don't withdraw his classes guys. Coz if you do, you are wasting someone's chance. Getting into his classes is not easy. If you do your part, he will take care of the rest. Show him that you wanna pass. If you can't pass this class, it is your fault. Don't blame him.
Youre graded in 3 tests, 1 take home, and a final. Prof Flores definitely knows calc like the back of his hand. He can give extremely detailed explanations for everything. But sometimes you just need it short, sweet, and straight to the point. Which only happens during test reviews. Do all hw. Calc 2 makes you die a little inside. Be prepared.
I took Flores for both Trig and Calc 1. He's a good Professor, very accommodating and understanding. Do beware that your grade is based solely on his exams, so if you fail your exams more than once, chances are you won't pass the class. He doesn't make the material hard - Take him!
Before, I always struggled with the pace of high level math courses. After taking him, you feel like you understand all the important aspects of Calculus. Even if you're that kid in class that asks the stupidest questions, he won't embarrass you in front of everyone. He'll always treat respectfully and give the best responses.
He helps you understand math, especially for Pre-cal which is a 50% chance you will fail. I haven't taken any math class for 3 years and I was really worried about taking pre-cal. He gives out lots of HW for practice, there is only 4 tests he sometimes lets you re-take if class doesn't do so well he is there to help you succeed. Best math teacher.
Prof Flores is a great math prof, he's brilliant, however, since the curriculum for Precalc is kinda screwed we did have to review some things on our own. He gives hella homework, but that's the only way you'll do well on the tests. He explains concepts clearly and is easy to understand. He'll even give you a heads up on what's coming next in Calc!
The only grades in the class are 4 tests and a final. Professor is incredibly intelligent and can sometimes dive too deep in to topics that are a bit advanced. Practice exams are exactly like tests. Attend class and study this is a fairly easy A.
I had him once a week for this class and he genuinely cares about teaching the material. He grades heavily on tests since he doesnt grade homework nor does he check it. But I really advise you to try to do the homework, since its more practice. But overall, I really liked him!
Great class and great teacher, he only grades the test so there is not much work for the class but its on you if you dont learn the material in your free time.
This is my second semester with Professor Flores ( took him for precalculus algebra too). He teaches short cuts or different ways to derive ( which really helps if you forget the identity) he gives out homework but doesnt grade( only for practice) told class to memorize trig identities, other than that, only 4 tests and a final exam, hes the best
Prof. Flores took the time to review pre-requisite material in order for our class to understand the current material being presented. He tailored his lessons to what our class needed. This sometimes meant taking 2 classes to cover material that was only suppose to take 1 class to cover. He introduced Calculus concepts at the end of the semester.
I like to call this teacher an angel. He is the most fair, kind, and honest professor I have had since my 4 years at valencia. I cannot thank him enough for being here. Calc 2 is difficult, but he makes it a fun class. The tests are 90% like the study guide, hands down. Flores WANTS you t o pass, he WANTS you to do good. He Almost will never fail
There's extra credit on every test. You get to finish the tests in 2 days. You can literally pass this class just because youre in it. This teacher is SO Underrated. I think he is the best teacher at Valencia, overall. Take him for all the math classes you can, his class fills fast. Do not take this with a grain of salt, this is the reality of him
Flores wants to see you succeed. TAKE HIS CLASS AS SOON AS REGISTRATION OPENS. I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU. HE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE TAKEN SOOOO MANY. JUST DO IT . OTHER TEACHERS WILL NOT CARE IF YOU FAIL THE WAY FLORES *CARES*. TAKE HIM ! !! ! ! ! ! !! !! ! YOURE WELCOME**************** I TRIED THEM ALL, JUST TAKE HIM ! ! ! !! HES CHILL
Dr. Flores is passionate about his teaching, he makes sure everyone in the room understands the material before moving on. His homeworks are not graded BUT theyre good practice so always try to answer them after lecture. Also, he offers practice tests that are similar to the actual tests! Overall a great professor that you cant go wrong with!
AMAZING professor. You'll have a blast on his class and won't get bored. Best part of his class is that he gives study guides which if you study them well there's no way in hell that you'll get something less than an A on any of his test. Too bad he's retiring soon. LOVED him. (AND HE'S Puertorican!) It doesn't get better than that! Good luck!
He is very nice, however, his teaching style can be tough to grasp. He focuses more on the concept rather than teaching the steps to solve all the problems that will be on the homework and test. He only grades test, but you need to do the homework in order to be successful. If you are not strong in math he may not be the professor for you.
Amazing and inspirational professor! Had him for 4 math classes and he made the subject seem extremely doable with some practice... Great Professor!
Professor Flores does everything he can to make sure you are successful in the course. He is very understanding when it comes to questions and further explanation. If you understand the material and ask questions, you will be successful in the course. By far the most genuine calculus professor I have ever had from Calculus I-III. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Professor Flores is amazing! Now, don't get me wrong, Calc. II is an extremely hard class. But, Professor Flores was always willing to help me out with any issues that arose. He even set up some private Zoom meetings to help me get through some difficult points. He is very kind as well, and wants to help his students do their best in all they do!
I took his class for Calculus 1
literally the best math professor you will ever take. I took him for trig and currently taking calc 1 with him again. he's class fills up fast so as soon as you can register!! he explains everything and the study guide are JUST LIKE THE TEST!!! if you understand the study guide then you can pass the test. can be a little harsh when grading, easy A
Theres 3 tests and one final. We have weekly ungraded homework assignments through Webassign or textbook problems. Dr. Flores is a great person, I just didnt learn a thing in the class. Possibly because of covid, it felt like I was teaching myself with YouTube videos. Hes super accessible and will work with you so that you can understand.
Had him in spring and so far my absolute favorite teacher on campus. He'll help you with whatever you need and then some. Actually cares about his students. Can't wait to take Calculus 1 and 2 with him!
there is no way in hell you can take this class and not pass. like his test are similar to the study guides which are not multiple choice by the way. obv you have to understand the material but i took him for trig and calc and got A's both semester. he can be a bit harsh when grading but he helps you whenever you need him TAKE HIM !!! EASY A
Dr. Flores is amazing! I took him for Calc. 2 and 3, and had a wonderful time in both. He only grades 3 or 4 tests and a final, but he gives great reviews which are almost exactly like the tests. As well, the tests are PDFs, and you get a week to work on them. Also, he is very caring and will go to great lengths to help you succeed!
After taking Prof. Flores for Calc. II and III, I also took him for an Honors (Engineering) Research project. He was an outstanding mentor and helped me formulate ideas, think outside the box, and create a far better report than I could have alone. He always provided amazing feedback, along with tips and tricks to succeed.
Prof Flores genuinely made me feel understood in his class. The homework can feel overwhelming but he works with you and understands if you need an extension. the test are also a lot simpler and easier than the homework and he stays true to his practice test.
Dr. Flores is a very good and enthusiastic math teacher. He provides many resources (including office hours) for his students. I've only taken him online, which is a bit more self paced (you're only graded on 4 tests). If you put in the work, you will 100% pass his class.
This class is super easy to pass and you would have to try to fail. He gives you 8 days for a 10 question test which is super easy. You're not graded on homework only tests so you could learn at your own pace or use different only study materials. Most test questions are not over the top complicated and can easily have examples found online.
Only grades you on 4 tests during the semester, which are only 5-8 questions and sent out a week before due. Homework is online but not mandatory. He provides you with his phone number to contact him and responds pretty quickly. He gives practice tests and makes videos going over them. The practice tests are almost the same as the actual test.
This is the most laid-back professor I ever had. You are graded by four tests throughout the year which are done on paper without a proctor. There is homework for practice but it is not mandatory. He posts online lectures weekly discussing the topics and explains them clearly.
At first, he was fine, he provided lecture videos to help on lessons, but around 2 months into the course he just stopped? Besides that you're only graded on 3 tests and a final (identical to study guide just with different #). I suggest having a trig background because its pretty much all self-learned through the textbook which can be difficult!
There were only 4 exams and there were no mandatory homework assignments. It was a pretty laid back class
Paul Flores is very caring, smart, and charismatic. He always made sure to answer any and all questions the class had and was very keen on keeping us all on the same page. If you take professor Flores you will be in safe hands, and if you apply yourself, I'm 99.9% sure you'll get an A in his class.
Calc 2 is quite honestly brutal and it will require a crap ton of your time. ASAP start watching his videos and taking his notes, Dr.Flores makes it a little easier for you but you have to put in the work too. Don't be afraid to ask questions and if you do the homework and take notes the test shouldn't be an issue. Super sweet and Caring Professor!
Dr. Flores is a great professor! One thing I liked was how he encouraged his students to solve problems using a variety of methods rather than just one. He is an easy grader who genuinely cares about his students' success. There were 3 tests (the ONLY course grades) that could be completed at home. I would definitely recommend taking his course.
Professor Flores is an amazing! I would definitely recommend him. I took trig and failed with another professor, I decided to take it again based on his ratings and I was not let down! He is so caring and the course is easily understandable. He only grades by three tests and a final. You genuinely can not fail in this class if you put in the work.
This class was very easy, as long as you put the effort and work into the tests. Show your work on the tests. The professor himself was very nice and left wonderful comments on the tests.
All tests are take home! He even allows us to get tutoring assistance on them. Your only grades are 4 tests since homework is not graded. Just show all work on tests and you'll get an A.
Took Trig as a 6 week summer class and finished with a 100%. Def recommend if you're already pretty good at trig since the only graded assignments are 3 tests and a final you print out at home.He posts short videos on each of the lessons and has study guides for the 3 tests. One of the best classes I've taken Mr Flores is definitely him
Don't take it if you are trying to learn, It is pretty much learn by yourself class. Professor posts short videos weekly that barely explains how to solve things, he just gets an problem and solve it without explaining the steps to reach the answer. Assignments are not graded, you are grade according to the 4 test. Learned all from youtube
Just look at the reviews! He is the best. nothing else left to say.
You will not actually learn Calculus but you can pass easily. He skips a lot of important material, so be prepared to suffer in Calc 2 or Calc 3 if you have a different professor.
Great professor, that's all I could say! :)
Amazing professor. Graded by 4 tests which is very manageable for someone who is very busy. I was already pretty good with trig so this class was perfect! There are still plenty of resources for those who are not as familiar.
This professor makes the class very easy, there are just 4 tests you need to do for the class and he is a very easy grader. The mean is 96.3% and the median is 100% for his tests. If you want a light workload and a guaranteed pass take this professor. Also, note he stops providing video lectures halfway through the course, so either read or youtube
Good professor! Long test, the final grade is base only on test, but he gives you plenty of time to do the test.
Y'all, this class is my favorite! I was scared going into Trig, but this class boosted my confidence. He only grades 4 tests that make up your entire grade, but the tests were super simple and straightforward. TAKE HIM RIGHT NOW, HE IS THE MOMENT.
Professor Flores was a great class. Only 4 tests with 10 questions (only grades the whole semester), very easy to get a good grade in this class just need to make sure you pay attention to due dates. Overall, very light class, would recommend pairing it with one of your harder classes.
all i can say is this is the easiest class you will ever take in your college journey this is by far the easiest A if you want the credit and the grad take this class 100% recommend there are no assignments at all the only thing graded in the class are 4 tests which are ten questions each pretty easy stuff show your work on the test theyre not hard
If your wanting an easy class to take thats almost guaranteed to be an A I would take this one. The only assignments you'll have is 4 tests as long as you show your work you shouldn't have a problem getting a 100 given he gives you a week to do each take home test. He's a great professor and dives into great detail, always offers help when needed.
Professor Flores is a wonderful and caring man. He is very understanding and is very passionate about teaching. Calculus is hard but he is very straightforward and is willing to help whenever you need it!
TAKE HIM! Online class, easy pass and he is awesome! No hw, only 4 tests. He gives you a practice and the exam is exactly the same with diff numbers. He grades you on what he taught you. Best professor!
Professor Flores' MAC1114 class was a breeze! The grading is straightforward, with just 4 tests making up your entire grade. While the textbook is used, the lecture videos and unstuckstudy AI study tools made the material very manageable, even for those without a strong trig background. Definitely recommend this class!
Best professor ever, if you're thinking about taking Calc 1 with him DO ITTTT!!!! He truly is the best. Your grade is only based on the tests and you have a whole week to do each test. For the tests you submit a pdf of your answers and work, open notes on everything. Do what you will with that info. Class is an EASY A. Love him!
I absolutely adore Dr. Flores! Had to take Calc as a major requirement and he has made it extremely fun and easy to balance with a heavy course load. 10/10 highly recommend him!!! Exams are take home and due within the week which is a HUGE plus.
really great guy. but, his teaching style didnt work for me personally. he doesnt assign hw & only grades the 4 (including the final) take home tests. very ez to pass but not a good class to take if it's ur first time taking calc. if im not assigned hw, i wont carve out time for the class. if u need that push of hw & stuff, dont take. nice dude tho
I'm sure this professor is smart and nice but his online class was just not for me. It felt like I didn't learn calc 2 since I was basically teaching myself the entire time and when it came to exams I was faking the knowledge I had. I'm sure I taught myself well but it sucks that this professor didn't push his students to practice what they learned
This professor only teaches for credit. I missed half the classes and submitted exams with 3 missing answers and still got a 100%. He doesn't incentivize students to learn. You will get an A if you take him, but you will not master the content of the class, which you'll probably need in the future classes.
This was a wonderful professor, you could pretty much go at your own pace. Everything is graded off of the tests but he is super flexible for when you take the tests. The homework is not graded. This was the best class I ever took.
Guaranteed an A, he gives 4 exams (open note), which make up your entire grade. Homework not graded. Lack of accountability made me slack off. It's a self-paced, self-taught course, which was not my cup of tea. Take it if you want an easy A, not if you want to learn. It will be hard to retain the info for future classes. Professor is nice, though.
He offers videos for each section he teaches. Answers emails fast. You ARE only graded on tests. You can use the book or online book. This is mostly self taught but every online class is. Gives you a practice test & a video on how he did each question. Reflects test exactly. You CAN learn if you try. Took him for mac2311&2312. Confident for mac2313
I didn't end up learning much, if anything, from this professor about the subject material. I did end up passing the class with 100% however. This is because the class is comprised of a small number of tests, and as long as you fumble your way through the correct process, he'll give you full credit. No feedback; no clue how well I actually did.
I took both Calculus I and Calculus II with Dr. Flores. He's a great professor. His lectures are clear and engaging. Some students tend the take home tests for granted and don't participate much in class, but if you stay engaged, you'll learn a lot. He is very approachable and always willing to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend him.
Doctor Flores only grades on four assignments: three tests and a final that are take-home. If you take this professor and not engage in the extra resources he provides, you will not learn. You have to be willing to do the assignments that are not part of your grade to learn in this class. You have to be willing to teach yourself.
Very easy class. However, the class is what you make of it. You could easily get through with an A and learn nothing. He provides videos and there is a textbook but outside of that he doesn't teach a lot. There are 4 exams that comprise your grade. He doesn't grade very tough on the exams. Overall, easy A but you might not learn much.
If I was an engineering major, I would take him for Cal 2 also. He's so chill, he has lecture videos and even goes over the practice tests. The practice tests are so similar to his actual exams. Your grade consists of 4 take home exams, hw is not graded but it's good practice. I really do highly recommend him if you ever want a good calculus prof.
DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN. I know his rating is super high and everyone loves him, but you will not learn a thing if you take his online class. I had a 100 in the class and if you asked me how to do an integral I'd laugh (idk how). Take him if you want the free A. If you need to learn for future math class like calc 3 / diff eq, do not.
